Should have included some comments sent by Marsali on Friday in the same e mail about rain fall figures for January and also February... better late than never!!!
"It’s quite cold here at the moment and there are
some heavy hail showers. The wind has dropped considerably and the
ferries are sailing. We have a Sparrowhawk lurking around which
sits on top of the bird feeders waiting for the wee ones to come along. I don’t think it has managed to catch any yet as I haven’t been aware of
feathers on the ground. There is also a very well fed Pheasant
living in the garden which gets a fair amount of nourishment from the ground
below the feeders. So far it’s just the usual Chaffinches and Tits that come to the feeders and an occasional Robin on the ground
below. But they fairly get through the suet balls!"
